“Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” (-Orson Welles)

Today, I head home after almost a month of being on the road this time. I’ve seen some incredible things, and I can’t complain, but I always know I’ve been on the road too long when I find myself wishing I could just pop into the kitchen to fix comfort foods without eating on the road:

Tuna Melts with cheese oozing out of crusty bread for lunch...
Big, tossed, fresh salads with the ingredients I want, and homemade dressings...
French toast with orange zest, cinnamon, berries, warmed syrup, and whipped cream for breakfast...
Bowls of steaming soups brimming over with veggies…

Simple things that I can grab whenever I want to, without having to orchestrate driving out somewhere or ordering in. Aaaaahhhh… I'm starting to really miss reaching into a cupboard and finding my own selection of teas and honey right there on the shelf with a teacup of my own choice. All those things I otherwise take for granted…

At home.

Four trips down; one to go!
And next week is Thanksgiving, so I can relax...
Have a great weekend, everyone! Yay! I’m heading home. I'm also heading to Georgia to be with family, so in the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! See you in a while...
